Dance the night away at the grand finale of the conference and IACP's New Orleans Giveback Project as we celebrate around the gumbo pot. Gumbo Z'Herbes, Seafood Gumbo and Gumbo Ya-Ya are just some of the sumptuous tastes you'll experience as we showcase New Orleans' culinary history, incredibly talented chefs and the Crescent City Farmers Market. The evening will be filled with sensational dishes prepared by many of the region's renowned chefs, including Paul Prudhomme, chef, author and television host; Darin Nesbit, executive chef, Bourbon House and Palace Café; and Donald Link, chef and owner, Herbsaint and Cochon. This event will be held at the Crescent City Farmers Market location in the historical warehouse district, walking distance form the hotel, and will benefit the market.

The Crescent City Farmers Market, founded in 1995 as part of the Economics Institute (EI), is a nonprofit organization working to promote ecologically sound economic development for individuals, families and small businesses in the food and agriculture sector of the Greater New Orleans region. In 2006, with the city and region desperately attempting to rebuild after the wreckage and disruptions from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, two of the Crescent City Farmers Market locations reopened and started providing the city with fresh, local food and artisanal goods as well as a warm, friendly town square.

Join us in "giving-back" and supporting the Crescent City Farmers Market, a vital organization working to rebuild a city and community who have contributed tremendously to the world's culinary community.
